Diary of Alexander Sutherland Mackay, 8 November - 30 November 1918
Description
Loose page diary relating to the First World War service of 30137 Gunner Alexander Sutherland Mackay, 8th Australian Field Artillery Brigade. This diary written between 8 November and 30 November 1918 covers: details of the rumours he hears surrounding the armistice with Germany; his hope to be on leave when peace is declared; the work of the German prisoners; his disappointment that there is little available to celebrate the armistice and thoughts of how the news will be received in Australia; the frustration of the lack of news given their isolated location and his thoughts on the flu outbreak in France and England.
